Homopolysaccharide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homopolysaccharides are polysaccharides composed of a single type of sugar monomer. For example, cellulose is an unbranched homopolysaccharide made up of glucose monomers connected via beta-glycosidic linkages; glycogen is a branched form, where the glucose monomers are joined by alpha-glycosidic linkages. Depending upon the molecules attached that are of the following types:

  1. Glucan - A polysaccharide of glucose
  2. Fructan - A polysaccharide of fructose
  3. Galactan - A polysaccharide of galactose
  4. Arabinan - A polysaccharide of arabinose
  5. Xylan - A polysaccharide of xylose[1]
